Get Out: Carpentry, Ceramics and Beer
From DIY workshop and art exhibit to live music and beer, take your pick of what to get out of town for this weekend.
This week, we've got a good variety of activities to get you out of the house and, in some cases, out of town. Learn some carpentry projects, try your luck at a benefit trivia, check out some art, music and beer, or head downtown for the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
